Welcome to Paws on the Street, an accredited 501(c)(3) tax exempt nonprofit organization. We’re a group of compassionate volunteers inspired by one simple truth: pets are family. Like so many of you, we’ve experienced firsthand the bond that grows between humans and their pets—the love, loyalty, and comfort they provide, especially in the toughest times.
Our journey began with Brandy, our beloved Doberman, who taught us the depth of this connection. When Brandy fell ill, we did everything we could to care for her, sparing no effort to ease her pain and show her just how loved she was. As we walked through this experience, we started noticing others facing hardship in Austin—homeless individuals with their pets by their sides; devoted companions through every challenge.
